Exposure to very high levels of the sulfur dioxide gas emitted from the fissures can be life-threatening, experts say.

The pant sits on the edge of Leilani Estates, one of the areas where almost 2,000 residents have been forced to evacuate as Kilauea spewed lava.

And scientists say don't worry, they'll continue to monitor all of California's volcanoes, even as they provide backup for in Hawaii.

"Federal funding is available to the State and to eligible local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations on a cost-sharing basis for emergency work and the fix or replacement of facilities damaged by Kilauea volcanic eruption and earthquakes in Hawaii County", the government said in a statement late Friday.

Over the past week, the Big Island has experienced more than 600 earthquakes - a sign that something is occurring deep beneath the volcano.

"This field of volcanoes around Flagstaff has been erupting once every five to 10 thousand years, and the last eruption was about a thousand years ago, so we don't expect another eruption to happen very soon", he said. However, he also noted that tourism is the island's biggest industry and people's livelihoods are dependent on visitors coming.
